White collar jobs are all about to become obsolete. What are you doing to prepare?

Trade would be more suitable for the older one. Younger one has an investment account which should be millions by the time he is 30.
I'm moving abroad where property taxes are very low and healthcare is affordable. Will be come back to DC/FL few months a year.
My own money should continue to grow faster than I can spend. I don't need the SS payments, but will take them at 62. I can do better job investing the money than government's return for waiting.

This ‘investment expert’ poster pops up on every thread. If you have been able to accumulate ‘millions’ in an investment fund for a child, without a white collar job, what, pray tell, are you doing?

And if all these jobs go away, who is going to buy all this consumer crap?

Why are there three threads about AI? Someone is having a panic attack.

I am asking genuinely and with no snark---can you please share your advice or where you looked for advice to pursue this path? I invest with some success, but nothing like this.

Good on you. I am going to encourage my children, both male and female, to pursue prostitution and/or stripping. There will always be a need for that.

I’m encouraging mine to get into drug dealing. They’re dreaming big and plotting a takeover of the cartels.

There will be no more money. The new currency will be liquor and bullets.

I told my son to think about plumbing he told he doesn't want to smell like poop..I told him how about electrician he looked at me like it was beneath him. This is interesting because many of us who are wealthy have children who view these jobs as beneath them. And I wonder if some us parents have the same view, but don't want to admit it. Perhaps we are ashamed to admit the next plumber with John's son who is a plumber himself. Maybe we think our kids will be the lawyers and doctors just like us and the other kids from the middle class will continue like plumbers just like their dads

Anyone have a good link on how/why/when or evidence that white collar jobs are going away?

Yes I could google it, but since many here are totally convinced it's happening, I want to see what you're reading.

What about when the white collar workers don’t have money anymore to pay them for their work?

You comes off kind of passive aggressive. When you say with “Yeah, I could just Google it,” you admit you do not really need help, so it feels like you are testing us rather than really asking. Saying “since many here are totally convinced” hints that you think we are gullible, and “totally” ramps up your sarcasm. “I want to see what you’re reading” flips the burden on us prove a point. You are scoffing while pretending to be polite.

So, go to google and do a search.
